When you look at morning shows, Today in Georgia comes in at #2 in the whole country! An incredible 65.3% of the people watching TV in the Albany market at 6:00AM weekdays are watching Karla, Ruthie, and Chris on WALB!

In the early news category, WALB-TV's 6:00 newscast is ranked 7th in the United States, with 54.4% of viewers watching. The six stations ahead of WALB are all in smaller markets, which means those viewers have fewer sources to get news than folks in Albany have, which means South Georgians have more choices, but they CHOOSE to watch WALB!

WALB's 5:00PM newscast is ranked #22 in America, and remember, working people don't get off work until 5:00!

WALB's 49.0% Share at 11:00PM ranks ninth in the USA, and seven of the eight stations ahead of us are in those smaller markets. That eighth station has only .2% larger share, but WALB has more households watching than they do.

When you watch WALB, or buy ads on WALB, most of South Georgia is too!
